What I've learned on my trip to Deals Gap

[ablank]

1. the roads here are AWESOME!
2. the roads here are SCARY
3. the Gap itself is INSANE and 30mph is flyingly fast for me.
4. NEVER ride alone
5. ALWAYS roll film
6. ALWAYS wear gear
7. target fixation SUCKS

Oh Shite bro! Hope you are okay.... I wasn't expecting that 3rd photo at all....

[teddy]

Holy H3ll dude! Glad to see you are for the most part ok! Where exactly did that happen? It looks like the road that takes you back into robbinsville from 28 maybe? Your list is absolutely correct, though. The dragon and the surrounding roads are all beautiful, twisty, yet surprisingly scary. Sorry about your misfortune, but glad to see you are allright to ride again some other day!!

I just noticed.........your back tire has a big hole in it.....what did you hit????

[ablank]

I'm fine, teknic chicane jacket, back protector and pants, shoei helmet, astar boots and gloves all did their job. had a small raspberry on my right shoulder, left knee and a small cut on my finger. the bike caught fire when it stopped rolling, according to witnesses I did a Superman impersonation for 30 feet while the bike cartwheeled. thank God for gear and guardian angels. this happened on 360 near tellico? the tire just has dirt on it. they still have air in them

[ZukiFred]

Just Glad to hear that you are OK and your gear did it's job!!!

And that poor poor Kat....

[meanstrk]

WOW! I did 360 last Monday, the 11th! Glad you are ok at least!

How did you lose it?

[ablank]

I target fixated on the end of the guard rail, by the tim I realized what was going the front tire hit the paint and went off the road. I managed to get it back on the road and then it and I went flying down the road.

it looks like I might be able to bring it back to life once I'm back home.

Man... really sucks to hear about this.

Glad you weren't hurt too bad, and sounds like you want to bring the Kat back to life.
